Bend, Sinister

bend, sinister exist in that place where only self-taught improvisation can cross-pollinate with classically trained sensibilities, and what emerges is an entirely new set of rules and regulations out to reformulate what standards already exist. this talented duo, hailing from phoenix, arizona, came to be in early 2004. the limited electronic music resources offered to them have influenced justin harrison (vocalist/multi-instrumentalist) and beat-monger tom dinchak's versatility to a level where they don't adhere to any particular style or scene. from the sonic manipulations on their 2004 debut "culminatecollapse", jazzy overtones of "undesired progress" and visual vignettes of the video-only "culmination" (ivdt.net) to their instantly likable, experimentally flavored album "glitchpop" (enpeg:digital). bend, sinister are poised to make their mark in the halls of experimentation. they continue their busy release schedule while managing an up and coming netlabel post-digital
